Chapter 176 World 348
That's a really hurtful thing to say.
Judging from Zhan Shu'er's merciless attitude, Zhan Hui'er's pale face and seemingly unsteady figure, who wouldn't think that Zhan Shu'er was bullying her?
But Yinyin sat on the side, not even considering getting involved.
Upon hearing Zhan Shuer's words, one could tell that the "good" marriage that the Third Master had carefully chosen was the one he had previously wanted to give to Zhan Shuer, but which was ultimately rejected by the Feng family.
All the humiliation and embarrassment that Zhan Huier is experiencing now is the result of the third branch of the family shooting themselves in the foot; she is not worthy of any sympathy.
Yinyin remained silent, which was enough to express her attitude to some extent, so Zhan Shuer scoffed without any politeness: "You can't even handle a few words? I remember you weren't this fragile, Hui'er."
“You’re the kind of person who can still offer advice and strategies to the Fourth Princess without batting an eye. We sisters know each other well, so there’s no need for you to pretend like this.”
"Sister Shu'er, please have some decency in your words," Zhan Hui'er said, her grip on the armrest of the chair tightening. "Grandfather has already made his decision about that matter. What do you mean by speaking ill of me now, Sister?"
"Grandfather's conclusion is the truth?" Zhan Shu'er made no attempt to hide the malice on her face. "As for slandering you... do you dare repeat those words in front of the Fourth Princess?"
Yinyin gently turned the agate bracelet on her wrist. The excitement of watching it live was much better and clearer than watching a drama. Even the disappointment in Zhan Huier's eyes was clearly visible.
Wait, what is she disappointed about?
Yin Yin pursed her lips. She had just deliberately tried to provoke Zhan Shu'er by using Old Master Zhan's conclusion.
"Sister Shu'er, why do you have to provoke me with such words? Who do you think I am? Do you think I can just talk to the Fourth Princess like that?" Zhan Hui'er feigned timidity and looked at Zhan Shu'er. "But sister, aren't you afraid that the Fourth Princess will come after you for using her name to swindle people?"
Yin Yin frowned, intending to intervene when Zhan Shu'er lost her temper. No matter what their thoughts were about celebrating the festival, they couldn't let it affect her brother's happy day.
But clearly, Zhan Shuer has indeed grown up and can now control her temper.
She was indeed provoked by these words, but that was all. She suddenly adopted a haughty attitude and looked at Zhan Huier: "What am I afraid of? I am the eldest granddaughter of the Zhan family. If the Fourth Princess knew that I had been bullied, she would personally come to tell me who the culprit was. But Huier, you are really good at spouting nonsense."
"They say a dog that bites doesn't bark, but Hui'er has really broadened my horizons."
"Don't worry, Hui'er. You've given me such a generous gift. If I don't reciprocate properly, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness?" Zhan Shu'er's eyes lit up as she thought of something, and she laughed out loud. "Hui'er, you must wait for me!"
"You!" Zhan Huier finally showed a hint of fear on her face.
However, Zhan Shu'er was clearly dissatisfied with her performance: "Hui'er, you're actually afraid? That's really strange. I thought you didn't know fear. How dare you do anything, relying on your father's backing?"
"Look at me, why am I saying all this? It's all in the past. You didn't do what your third uncle asked you to do, and you even got yourself into trouble. Isn't your third uncle very angry? Doesn't he want to talk to you anymore?"
"Poor Hui'er, you've always listened to your father the most, but he's watching you marry such a man. You've done so much for him, but he doesn't want you anymore!"
"Shut up!"
Wow! Yin Yin was a little surprised that Zhan Hui'er was the one who broke down first today.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. What Zhan Huier cares about most is her father's attitude and opinion of her. Although the Third Master is very good at putting on a show, as his daughter, even if Zhan Huier can't see through everything, she can still sense some clues. So Zhan Shuer's words must have hit Zhan Huier's sore spot by sheer coincidence.
"Your eyes are red with anger, you hate me that much," Zhan Shu'er laughed, then suddenly raised her head, revealing her beautiful neck. "Come on, come at me! If you dare to lay a hand on me, my maternal grandparents' family will make your maternal grandparents' family pay the price. At that time, it won't just be you who will be abandoned by your father, but your mother will also be abandoned by her parents and brothers. Who told her to raise a daughter who dares to harm her own sisters, Hui'er?"
Zhan Huier was so angry that she trembled all over, her face pale as she gasped for breath.
Seeing this, Yin Yin could no longer remain seated. She immediately looked at the maid pretending to be a quail and said, "Hurry up and help Miss Hui'er sit down so she can recover."
Having received her instructions, some people glanced at Zhan Shuer's expression, while others stepped forward without hesitation.
Yinyin made a note of everyone's names before turning to Zhan Shuer: "Sister Shuer, today is my elder brother's wedding day. We absolutely cannot let anything go wrong, don't you think?"
Zhan Shu'er has been under the care of Madam Feng lately, and hasn't had time to cause trouble for Zhan Hui'er. Today, she finally seized an opportunity and angered Zhan Hui'er so much that she naturally didn't want to give up easily. However, Yin Yin spoke up and specifically mentioned Zhan Zheng, so no matter how unwilling Zhan Shu'er was, she had to give her face.
“Sister Yinyin is right. On Brother Zheng’s big day, we can’t let any bad luck come into our way. Now, thanks to my grandmother’s teachings, I can be patient. Good things come to those who wait. I can wait.”
As the two were talking, Zhan Huier had caught her breath, but her makeup and hair were inevitably not as exquisite as before.
Zhan Shuer also noticed this and called her personal maid forward, emphasizing, "Go and take good care of Miss Hui'er's dressing up. If she meets guests looking like this, people will think that Yin Yin and I have done something to her."
The maid was very skilled at makeup and hairstyling, and in no time, she had dressed Zhan Huier up again, making her even more beautiful than before.
Yinyin kept her eyes down, completely ignoring the hair that the maid had "accidentally" pulled out while washing Zhan Huier, and instead instructed Dongxin: "Send someone to go and check on her."
Dongxin had only been gone a short while when she returned with an old woman.
"The guests have arrived one after another. Madam, please move to Linshi Diecui."
